Divers navigate three distinct reef plateaus, which are separated by picturesque sand banks resembling dunes. The strong currents define the navigation, making it a dynamic and challenging underwater journey.

The marine life here is abundant and diverse. Divers can encounter green moray eels, various turtles, southern rays, and stingrays. Schools of large fish are common, along with vibrant reef goldfish. The reef structure itself is adorned with beautiful sponges and impressive coral formations, enhancing the rich ecosystem. In the appropriate season, bull sharks are a significant highlight.
